MANNERS OF THE BRITONS. Not as Nice an Tliey Are Represented— Even the I*rinc©HHen anil Duchesne* Are Rude as Compared to the Average Amer ican I.ady. >D HE other dav a pro fessedly well-inform ed lady said to me: "In depicting the styles of dross worn by American women, does it ever occur to you that, although { we get most of oar I costumes from Paris, we take our aeoompa f\ nying mannors from "1 London?" She went 1 on to say that our n best - behaved swells reproduced the po liteness of aristocrat ic Britons. Well, I have to-day consulted seriously with a lady whose home is in New York, but who has lived a great deal in London, and who when there is an associate with the aristocrats, even to the Queen's own co terie. "Polite Americans are always astonish ed," she said, "on finding themselves in the center of a fashionable throng at a smart wedding, a state concert in the Al bert Hall, or a grand gardeu fete. At any of these functions ladies of high degree may be seen elbowing their way, just like the rude crowd at a country fair, and the dismayed Yankees find themselves bruised and trampled by the vigorous arms and ruthless feet of dowager duchesses, who, with the loftiest and most distin guished air, will rend in shreds a dozen mantles, or assault as many of their less energetic sex, in the wild endeavor to get the best for their money. It is likewise characteristic of a fashionable London assembly that, how ever much its individual members may jostle and scramble, and kick and elbow, no word of apology or regret is ever heard. Eaoh one assumes that the other is doing likewise. All are making a supreme ef fort to get foremost, and they perfectly understand the manners of their set. The oalm, imperturbable quiet which is popu larly supposed to pervade, as Bui wer Lyt ton said, the actions and habits of well bred people is most decidedly not in evidence l:ore. My lord is lighting as if for liberty for bottles of champagne, and my lady intercepts passing plates of lob ster salad and oyster patties. Patrician voices may be heard shrilly clamoring for some special dainty that is fast vanishing before the sight, and there are few sub terfuges that a smart crowd will not practice to secure a first entrance to the comestibles. No, no. We may take our clothes from Paris, but, for goodness' sake, don't let's imitate London polite ness." There is among your acquaintances, no loubt, the young girl who will not drink ioffee because it makes her complexion fellow, who eats stale bread, wheaten grits, chopped rare meat, and abjures all iweets ana starchy vegetables because that regime is conducive to a lustrous white skin and sparkling eyes. Society is filled with girlß who are cranks on diet and exercise, simply because they will make any sort of a fight, and even sacri fice their comfort, for a beautiful com plexion. I have ofton wondered how far this strict attention to one's self would purify the skin texture. Now, I chanced to run across an old friend of mine at lunch time, and sat down with her and her daughter, a young ladv of eighteen, who is to make her social debut during the present winter. The girl was one of the fairest examples of perfect blonde beauty I have ever seen. Her skin was dazzling, it was so pure in its whiteness. I will venture to say that the carefullest examination in the strongest light would not reveal a blemish on the lustrous, healthy flesh. Her eyes also were as brilliant as stars, the blue of them warm and clear, the white like snow. The fruity perleotion of this girl was so ex traordinary that I was at once struck with the fancy that if diet had anything to do with producing a beautiful skin this lovely creature must have been reared on the dew from the honeysuckles. There fore I was interested in what she chose from the lunch card that the waiter handed her. It can be imagined how shocked I was when I heard the order. Here it is: "A Wolsh rarebit, a bottle of beer, and, afterwards, mince pie, cheese, and a large cup of black coffee." The mother who is one of those sweet ladies with silvery hair and a face almost as soft as a girl's, said that the waitor might duplicate her daughter's order for her, as it qnite suited her. I said nothing about my thoughts, but my faith in the iufluence of the diet on the comploxion has been weak from that moment.— New York correspondence Chicago Ledger. AN AMERICAN INSTITUTION. A New Iml wMry for Indigent Women. HE newest industry for indigent gontlowomon is surely gaining ground with _ § us. It is, moreover, an American institution, so to B oak, and quite unlike the English which failed to footing here in the > P erson °' a woman who came over from London to t&A} do tho family spauking for I our four hundred. We can w our own B P an king, but ' onr mending, our 7 buttons and button-holes, our laces and silk stockings need look ing after. At least they did previous to the formation of tho new industry I am going to tell about. It was started by a highly respectable widow of a clergy man, who, being loft in straitened circumstances, and having been all her life too much occupied with do mestic and parochial work to acquire any money-making accomplishment of the usual sort, turned her facility with the needle into the means of a livelihood. She began by going to the houses of her personal friends for a day's visit and in forming the lady of tho mansion that she had brought her thimble, offered to sew on buttons, repair frayed button-holes' and the like while they chatted. She plied her needle so effectively that her services were soon sought for by over taxed, or indolent, or philauthropically iuclined matrons. It was not long beforo she had all that she could do, later on more than she could do, and litter still she brought several assistants—women: situated as she had been—into the work, and now has a systematic and lucrative business. You may ofton see her, or one of her corps of assistants, on her way to the day's mending and repairing, but you will see nothing less thau a well-dressed gentlewoman, looking as if she were goiug to spend the day with a friend. You would never imagine that tho but tons and strings, the frills and laces, the stockings and gloves of a hundred fam ilies depend on her for their beautiful , completeness, but such is the case, She can repair a lace Uounce which has suf fered from a masculiue foot as no lady's! maid that was ever born can do. I saw' one, where her needle had thrown an ex quisite fern leaf over the darn, that the 1 owner declared was the prettiest figure iu the whole fabric. Of course work like that command H a price, and her ploasant rooms, the air of plenty and refinement about everything, indicato that sho gets it. When asked how she ever thought of the unique scheme for earning her living, she said: , "Many years ago, whon my childron wore small, and my husband's salary not tho largest, my burdens were often light ened by a dear old lady iu tho parish who made it a practice of coming to tho parsonage once a month for a day of mending and repairing. It was a love offering from her to hor minister and hit family. Wlieu I was loft alone, with plouty of time and no money, it occurred to me that I might turn an honest penny by Bervina others, who could afford to pay lor tne service, lu a similar way. And yon see I have succeeded, both for myself and for them, for no family that I have once put on my list of patrons has ever dropped out."— New York letter to Chicago Ledger.

Your Trew Frend, HESTER ANN SCOOPER. THE PRESERVATION OF BEAUTY According to tlio Lwn of Health. fHE care and pres male beauty has been a study from earliest history. Even in the Bi ble we read of the arts that women have em ployed to enhance their beauty, and history and tra dition have pre sented us some strange things to be lieve. Noted beauties have been men tioned as having taken baths of wine, of aßses' milk, of milk and honey, and many other things to preserve their charms. It is said by historians that some of the renowned beauties bathed in dew, collected by slaves, and others again in rain water, and so on through all tho possible things in creation. It is even related of one great beauty that she was bathed every day in fresh bul lock's blood while it was yet w arm. It would occupy tho wliole LEDOER to recount the stories current of the ridiculous ideas held by the aucieuts as to different means to preserve or re store their charms, and few of them would be of service in the light of sci ence. The most of the so-called cosmetics, from the very beginning of the use of them, were based upon poisonous sub stances, just as they are to-day, and we read in a book on Egypt that a paste made of an araenical preparation was used over four thousand years ago, and from that time to the present day women have been using all kinds of preparations offered for sale by conscienceless persons, the most of them made of most dangerous min erals. It would be a curious study to show in what beauty consists, according to different ideas, in different countries, though, according to their lights, the women in each do the most they can to render themselves attractive, and in all countries women havo, and always will, rely upon the use of cosmetics of one kind or another to enhance their charms or conceal the ravages of time. To impress upon those who may read this so ides of articles the fact that they are taking their lives, oven, into their hands, to sav nothing of eventually ruining whatever good looks tlioy had in the beginning, wo shall toll them something of the materials which enter I iuto tho compounding of tho various preparations now in ttie market, ana which are said (by the makers) to be entirely harmless." All of the so-called creams, and lily balms, and such like liquids, are of ne cessity based upon white lead, and are, beyond measure, injurious to health and beauty. The commonest kind of flake white is generally used in their manufacture, and what is iuone bottle, for which the buyer pays from 75 cents to $2, costs but the fraction of a penny. Bose-water, diluted with pure water, fills the rest of the bottle. The bottle must be well shaken before using, as the lead settles to the bottom, and the water then takes the appearance of cream, which is applied to the face with a sponge, which is exactly the same thing as painting a door or a wall, in effect, and a dead white is the ro sult, which is unnatural and ugly. Some of them have a drop or two of cochineal added, which gives a so-called flesh tint, which is as glaring as the white in its uunaturalness.— Emma Vilo in Chicago Ledger. A Treacherous Memory. Mr. Brown, of Detroit, has a very treacherous memory. If Brown were addicted to borrowing money it would be a very bad thing for his friends, for he would never remember his indebt edness, even though he were liouest enough to pay. Perhaps that is the reason Brown never borrows anything if he can help it. He knows his weak ness and doesn't take any chances. The other day Brown wns at a well known restaurant in the city of Detroit, and he got away with a thirty-cent din ner. He pulled out a $lO bill and offered it to the cashier at the desk. The cashior looked over the change anil finally said that she could not chango the bill, and remarked that it did not matter; he could pay the thirty cents the next time he was in, for Brown was a regular frequenter of that restaurant. Next day he came and next, and next, and next, but never thought of pay ing the bill. The oashier, who was a modest young lady, hated to ask him for the thirty cents, thinking he would suggest the thing himself, but he did not do it. Finally she spoke to the proprietor of the restaurant. "Mr. Brown," she said, "owes thirty cents for a lunch he had here the other day, and he has not offered to pay it. Hail I better remind him of it?" "Well," said tho proprietor, "you must do it rather carefully, you know; he might tuke offense. A man never likes to be reminded of a debt that he owes. Perhaps I had better speak to him about it." Then the young ladvjoalled the wai ter who generally attended on Mr. Brown, anil said: "Did that gentleman, who has just gone out, pay you for a dinner that ho had here the other day ?" "No," answered the waiter, "he did not." "Well, he owes us thirty cents, and I don't know whether to speak to him or not." "Why, I should speak to him at once," said the waiter, "if I were you. I'll speak to him, if you like." "Well, we had better wait and see what the proprietor says first." Next day when Brown came in and went to pay his bill tho cashier said in a hesitating voice: "You remember, Mr. Brown, that there was thirty cents due for lunch the other day." "Bless my soul," said Brown, sur prised, "so there was. I didn't pay that, did I?" "No," she answered, "you did not. "Well, well, take it out of this," and Brown paid his bill. The next day the proprietor met Brown coming away from the cashier's desk. He looked to see if he were going to pay the thirty cents, and noticing that he did not, he tapped him on tho shoulder as he was going out. "I am sorry to interrupt you, Mr. Brown, but you owe us thirty cents for a lunch that you had hero the other day." "Oh, that's all right," said Brown. "I had forgotten entirely about it. Well, here you are, a quarter and a nickel, that'll make it square, won't it ?" "That'll be all right, Mr. Brown," said the proprietor, as he pocketed the cash. The day following Mr. Brown took his lunch at his usual table, and the waiter, seeing it was a good oppor tunity, and having noticed that lie did not pay his thirty cents at the cashier's desk the day before, said: "Mr. Brown, you remembor tho thirty-cent check you owed two or three days ago?" "No," said Brown, "I don't. What about it ?" Well," said the waiter, "you didn't have the money to pay it that day." "Hadn't I?" said Brown. "Well, I will jiay it to you now, and that will make us all right, won't it ?" "Certainly," said tho waiter, and Brown for the third time forked over the thirty cents. As Brown was paying his check that day the waiter plaukeil down the thirty cents which he had just oolleeted and said: "That's for Mr. Brown's lunch the other day." " What other day ?" said the proprie tor, who stood there. "Why, Mr. Brown owed us thirty cents, you know." "Why, he paid that to me," said the cashier. "Yes, but he paid it to me, too," said the proprietor. And so, ar Brown frequented au hon est restaurant, he got sixty cents back, whereas his poor memory might have cost him that sum of money.— Detroit Eree Erexx. A Oood Substitute.

Some Suggest ions lor Heavy Swells. # invisible dark shades will be a color per manently seen in mixed suit ings and spring over coatings. The designers of line cloth fab rics seem to have made a concerted inovo io give these rich and subdued color ings an oppor tunity to over some the prejudice which has heretofore existed against them. In diagonals and in wide wale goods for Epring topcoats the dark-green shad ings are quietly effective to a quite irre listible degree. The double-breasted long sack reefing jacket, made to fit loosely, is the bright particular hit of this season in the cloth ing business. Well-made trousers are seen at their best under the present accepted vogue as to measurements. The tendency toward the absurd balloon revival has been hap pily oheoked. The correct trousers are now cut reasonably snug about the hips with a straight fall and a slight sharp taper toward a point at the bottom. Aside from the crush hat, the tall silk stovepipe is the only appropriate head gear to be worn with evening dress. Swelldom will welcome the opera hut back again when the proper time arrives, for the silk hat is, upon occasions, vory much in the way and decidedly incon venient to manage. Some of the ultra swells will wear white waistcoats when the thermometor is down near freezing point. The nio terial is washable, but infinitely warmer than tho summer textures. The figured waistcoat is the one sop cast by the relentless fashion-molders this season to the small army of men with ready money to spend in costume, and possessing a well-defined penchant for the natty and picturesque in dress. In the variety of style and beauty of workmanship the American manufac turers of caues and umbrellas long since distanced European competitors. These articles come forth in wondrous multi plicity of design at this period of the year, and for serviceability those of the best qunlity may be warranted to stand all of the tests in contest with the best example on which duty was ever paid. As if to deprecate and discountenance the wearing of tho high hat with the sack dress *coat, some of tho leading swells have taken to wearing brown and light-colored Derbys with the garment. This attitude makes tho association of the high hat and swallowtail even more distinctively correct, and furthermore acts ns a foil to any suggestion of en croachment upon the realm of the skirt coat of full evening dress. How the Infants Shoot. A charming young public school teaclior, with a very lively set of young charges, is responsible for tho follow ing tales, which appear in the Wash ington Post. She told the youngsters to write compositions on "Good Man ners." This was the most unique, by an eight-year-old: "Good manners is keeping your fresh mouth out of other people's business." The teacher drew a picture on the blackboard of a boy wading in the water holding a crab in the net. Little Jules Gamier wrote: "The crab we see on the board is not a deviled crab, but a salt water crab." Is the dime novel disappearing from the hands of innocence? It looks that way. Tho teacher read her pupils a short Indian story. They listened with open-mouthed interest. " —'and tomahawk flew by the boy's head and buried itself in a tree.' Now, children, how many of you know what a tomahawk is?" No reponse. "Come, any boy who knows what a tomahawk is may hold up his right hand." One timid hand went up. "Well, Johnny, what is a toma hawk ?" "A tomahawk, Miss Mamie, is some kind of a bird, I believe 1" "Why do you think it is a bird?" "Because it is a hawk, and you said it flew by the boy's head."

TVhile on the survey of one of the Texas railroads we had with us one of the meanest horses u man ever saw. lie was fair to look upon, but he hail traits which caused a threat to shoot him every hour in the day. The man who ap proached that horse when he was feeding put his life in peril. One day when we were in temporary camp "Old Satan," as we called the horse, wandered away from the other animals to richer pasture. He ! was feeding at a distance of about forty rods and in grass knee-high, when one of our men who had climbed a tree to get a look at the country called down to us in a low voice: ''Boys, there's fun ahead. A Comanche is working his way through the grass to steal Old Satan. Don't make a move, but wait for results." We waited. The Indian had come out of a dry ditch a mile long on purpose to steal one of our horses and have some thing to boast of. lie must have chuckled with delight when the best looking horse in all the lot walked right down to him and asked to be run off. In about five minutes the dusky thief was near enough for his purpose. Perhaps Hie horse saw him—perhaps not. The I first thing we saw, however, was an In dian on horseback. He uttered a yell of triumph and tried to start the horse off, but Old Satan stood straight up and shook him loose, and the fellow had scarcely touched the earth before he was seized, flung hither and thither, and walked all over. We ran to the spot and drove the horse away, to find the Indian uncon scions. He was a sad sight to look upon resembling a man who had been run through a threshing machine, and it was all of half an hour before he opened his eyes. We gave him whiskey, signed to him that he might go if he could, and he rose up with a great effort and sneaked. —[New York Sun.
